Annotation
Description <p>The exhilarating follow-up to Pat Barker's The Women of Troy and The Silence of the Girls<br /> <br /> After ten blood-filled years, the war is over. Troy lies in smoking ruins as the victorious Greeks fill their ships with the spoils of battle.<br /> <br /> Alongside the treasures looted are the many Trojan women captured by the Greeks &ndash; among them the legendary prophetess Cassandra, and her watchful maid, Ritsa. Enslaved as concubine &ndash; war-wife &ndash; to King Agamemnon, Cassandra is plagued by visions of his death &ndash; and her own &ndash; while Ritsa is forced to bear witness to both Cassandra&rsquo;s frenzies and the horrors to come.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, awaiting the fleet&rsquo;s return is Queen Clytemnestra, vengeful wife of Agamemnon. Heart-shattered by her husband&rsquo;s choice to sacrifice their eldest daughter to the gods in exchange for a fair wind to Troy, she has spent this long decade plotting retribution, in a palace haunted by child-ghosts.<br /> <br /> As one wife journeys toward the other, united by the vision of Agamemnon&rsquo;s death, one thing is certain: this long-awaited homecoming will change everyone&rsquo;s fates forever.</p>
